The Gaspe Peninsula is located on
the eastern tip of the province of Quebec, north of New
Brunswick. It is mostly a coastal region being surrounded by the
St. Lawrence estuary and gulf as well as by the Bay of Chaleur.
The Magdalen Islands are located southeast of the peninsula,
north of P.E.I. and Nova Scotia, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The areas history is rich and diverse, from early beginnings of
fishing and shipbuilding up through the years. Families and
individuals have combined to create the interesting history of
the region.

Let's maintain the interest and share the history with
others that have roots to the GASPE and MAGDALEN area. Please
feel free to contact the co-ordinator to share sources or
